Ok so before you start to flame me and call me a 'noob', just read the who thing and try to remember what it was like to be a new player. And just because I'm new, doesn't mean I'm completely ignorant. Ok, so I just finished up the dragon slayer quest. Like i said, I'm a new player (less than 2 months) combat level 49 and I finally felt i was ready to complete dragon slayer quest. I was getting everything ready, bought full addy with scimmy, and just about used up any cash I had getting ready. I set of with some strength potions, my fireproof shield, silverlight (for the lessers), full armor and scimmy, and ammy of power (which i had bought previously), and some food. First mistake - only took salmon. Didn't wanna take the time to buy or get better food. I get to Elvog, use up all my food, and die when elvog only has about 5 hp left. Completely forgot i had prayer, so I didn't use item protect, and landed in lumby with addy plate body, legs, and kite shield, and no cash! Spent the next 2 days fishing for 2 reasons - sell some lobbys for cash and get myself some swordies for food. After 2 days, I finally took the time to get enough swordies for 100k gcs, and had a combination of swordies and lobbies for food. Had to get planks and nails for the boat again. Bought myself a new addy full helm, and decided that i could get away with using a black long I had come across from a treasure trail. This time i set off with a full pack of food, and wearing addy helm, plate body and legs, wielding black long and fireproof shield. (no ammy of power :( ) I left my addy kite in bank this time. when i got to elvog's lair, it was a long, hard fight. I was using up food (and prayer this time) and finally ran out of food. Only this time, I managed to slay the dragon with only having 1 HP left. I was thrilled, but my celebration was short lived, for as soon as I was tele'd out of the room, one of the skeletons outside hit me for 1! Next thing i know I'm back in lumby again, only this time i had item protect on, so the only thing i lost was my fireproof shield which i could immediately get back from the duke in lumby. So, at least i completed the quest, and didn't lose anything the second time (i miss my ammy of power tho). unfortunately, to return I'll have to fix the boat again in order to find the quick way back and forth to crandor (unless someone knows of another way). Now, to find some rune equipment... Off to the market! *edit: someday when I'm no longer a *noob* I'll look back on this and laaugh
